Securing a new database with an existing workgroup file

Hi,

I secured a database a while back using the User-Level Security Wizard.
During this process I created a new workgroup file, modified the Admins
group by adding a new administrator and removing the original Admin
account etc. Users opened up the database using a shortcut which
pointed to the new workgroup file. Everything worked out fine. Now I
wish to create a new database, with new database objects and apply the
same security to it. The groups and users will be the same so I was
wondering if I can use the same workgroup file to secure this database?
If so how do I go about doing this?

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,

Copy your existing db, rename it to whatever name you want
Delete all objects you don't use anymore (maybe there are code modules that you want to
re-use)
Compact and you are done.
Security for the db and new objects that you are going to create will be *exactly* the
same.

Hope this helps
